Welcome To The Kansas City Help Chapter Home Page
The Kansas City Help Chapter
A Support Group For People With Herpes
Affiliated With The Herpes Resource Center
The Kansas City Help Chapter, the local herpes support group, was organized in 1981 and is one of approximately 100 groups nationwide. Our activities include holding regular monthly meetings, operating the herpes hotline (913)599-9715, and providing informational materials to individuals and the community. We are affiliated with the national Herpes Resource Center, an agency of the American Social Health Association (ASHA). The Herpes Resource Center was established in 1979 and serves as the nations primary source for information on the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which causes cold sores and genital herpes.
Our Help Chapter's purpose is to provide an informal and confidential enviornment where you can obtain accurate information and talk with others who have this viral infection. Even for the most well-adjusted person, a herpes diagnosis can result in a crisis, and can seem like a roadblock to beginning new relationships. Being able to talk openly and share experiances and successes with others who really understand can help lighten the burden or ease the sense of isolation you may be feeling. We encourage you to come to one of our meetings.
We meet the first Thursday of every month from 7-9PM, unless that happens to be a National Holiday. Our new location is the Antioch Room on the first floor of the Health Services Pavilion on the grounds of the North Kansas City Hospital. The hospital is located east of I-35 North on 210 Highway (a/k/a Armour Road). The hospital's website (www.nkch.org) does include a map.The hospital is just northwest of Harrah's casino.
The Herpes Hotline: (913)599-9715.
If you live outside the Kansas City area, contact the Herpes Resource Center at (800)230-6039 for information on a support group near you.
